Abstract

Few people know the history behind the establishment of Hasanuddin University’s main campus in Tamalanrea, from its initial planning initiated by Prof. Amiruddin to the construction process. As one of the most prominent universities in Eastern Indonesia, Hasanuddin University has a long history of development and has continued to contribute to social transformation up to the present day. This study applies the perspective of the anthropology of memory to examine how the people of Kera-Kera remember their village in the past, how they perceive the transformation of their village into a university campus, and how they view the campus today. The study employed a descriptive qualitative method based on observations and interviews. A phenomenological approach was used to explore the informants’ lived experiences in the past. The data were analysed using the concepts of the anthropology of memory, social change, and ecological landscape. Three informants were selected through purposive sampling based on predetermined criteria. The findings show that the memories of the Kera-Kera people remain strongly attached to their former village. Some of them can still remember the exact locations of their houses, even though these sites have now been replaced by university buildings. They also recalled their responses to the campus development plan, which required them to sell their land and relocate to new places of residence. The process did not proceed smoothly, as many residents initially refused to surrender their land. Even after many years, some residents still find it difficult to accept the displacement, particularly because several land compensation payments remain unresolved. Nevertheless, they hope that the university will continue to improve, especially in the field of education, and they also expect the university to provide them with employment opportunities in the future.

Abstract

The phenomenon of graffiti art among university students in Makassar reflects a form of resistance to campus policies perceived as restricting freedom of expression. Graffiti has become an important medium through which students convey social criticism and articulate their aspirations, particularly when formal channels of dialogue are considered inadequate. This study therefore aims to analyze the motivations, meanings, and functions of graffiti as a form of everyday resistance within the framework of James C. Scott’s theory. This research employed a descriptive qualitative approach, with data collected through observation and in-depth interviews. The informants consisted of six students from three major universities in Makassar. The data were analyzed to identify emerging themes related to graffiti as a form of expression and resistance. The findings show that graffiti functions as a means of symbolic communication that enables students to express dissatisfaction with campus policies. Students’ motivations for creating graffiti vary, ranging from the need to articulate personal concerns to the desire to represent collective voices. Solidarity among graffiti artists is also evident in the production process, as they support one another and collaborate in creating their works. Despite the risk of sanctions imposed by university authorities, graffiti remains a pragmatic and adaptive form of resistance, creating space for dialogue and protest that is not adequately represented in formal forums.

Abstract

Background. The social conflict in Poso has left a profound imprint on the collective memory of local communities. Objective. This study examines how collective memory is formed and transmitted and how it shapes social dynamics in the post-conflict period. Method. Drawing on the anthropology of memory, data were collected through observation, in-depth interviews, and a literature review. The study explores how individuals and communities manage traumatic experiences, pursue reconciliation, and sustain social harmony. Results. The findings show that collective memory plays a complex role in shaping social relations in Bancea Village. Trauma and distrust remain present in several aspects of community life; however, local values such as Sintuwu Maroso have become central instruments for rebuilding solidarity across social and religious groups. Although some residents prefer not to revisit the conflict in order to preserve stability, others regard remembering as essential to preventing similar violence from recurring. The study highlights the importance of community-based approaches to post-conflict reconciliation and the need for policies oriented toward social and economic recovery. It demonstrates that conflict-affected communities can rebuild everyday life through the interaction of memory, culture, local values, and reconciliation.

Abstract

expressing individual freedom, and serving as an effective tool for voicing discontent with various aspects of social, political, and cultural life. Since its emergence, rock music has not only provided entertainment but has also offered a space for its fans to express their views and emotions, often in opposition to established social structures. One of the most visible expressions of rock music’s influence is the clothing style of its fans, which has become an integral part of their identity. In the rock music scene, fashion serves not only as a striking visual display but also as a medium for conveying deeper ideological messages, including freedom of expression and the rejection of conformity. This article examines the relationship between rock music, fashion, and self-expression among students at FISIP Unhas, highlighting how clothing choices—often featuring black colors, skull imagery, and designs inspired by rock subcultures—function as forms of resistance to established sociopolitical norms. Using Pierre Bourdieu’s concepts of habitus and praxis, the article explains how students’ social backgrounds and life experiences shape their behavioral patterns, attitudes, and preferences for clothing styles that reflect critical positions toward existing social structures. Habitus plays a crucial role in shaping forms of self-expression that move beyond conventional norms, while praxis refers to the concrete actions through which students express their positions in everyday life. In this context, clothing becomes a central means through which FISIP Unhas students assert independent identities and communicate their willingness to challenge injustice and social inequality. Overall, the article demonstrates that clothing styles inspired by rock music are not merely fashion trends, but expressions of social attitudes, ideologies, and values formed through broader social and political experiences.

Abstract

Punk is often positioned by dominant society as a deviant culture, while subculture provides a space in which marginalized actors can renegotiate identity and challenge dominant cultural norms. The incorporation of punk symbols into popular culture and capitalist markets, however, has weakened part of their oppositional meaning. This study examines how anarchist ideas and subterranean values are understood and practiced among punk youth in East Jakarta, and why those values frequently operate as pseudo-subterranean values. The study employed critical ethnography and was conducted in East Jakarta over 34 days. Data were collected through participant observation, in-depth interviews, and a review of secondary sources. Fifteen informants participated, five of whom, aged 20–26 years, were selected as case studies. The findings show that punk communities construct solidarity, freedom, anti-hierarchy, and alternative identity as forms of resistance to dominant culture. Nevertheless, their dependence on informal work, consumer goods, market circulation, and the wider economic system limits the autonomy of that resistance. Punk identity remains shaped by structural inequality and by the capitalist relations it seeks to oppose. The study concludes that punk subculture creates meaningful spaces for identity formation and mutual support, but its resistance is partial and contradictory rather than wholly independent of dominant structures.

Abstract

The development of the Center Point of Indonesia (CPI) through coastal reclamation has transformed the physical environment and everyday life of coastal communities in Makassar, particularly in Panambungan Village. This study examines community perceptions of the CPI project and identifies its socio-cultural impacts on residents whose livelihoods and settlements are closely connected to the coastal environment. The research employed a descriptive qualitative approach and was conducted in Panambungan Village, Mariso District, Makassar, from March to September 2023. Data were collected from ten purposively selected informants through observation, in-depth interviews, and a review of relevant literature and documents.Residents perceived the eviction process as sudden and viewed the project as having displaced coastal households without providing adequate long-term protection. Reclamation was also associated with declining environmental quality, reduced fish and shellfish stocks, the accumulation of waste and sediment in canals, and increasingly frequent flooding. These changes contributed to the loss of income, longer and more costly fishing journeys, restricted boat access, occupational shifts, and the disappearance of coastal spaces formerly used for work, food gathering, and children’s activities. The development also attracted newcomers and created new commercial and recreational spaces that influenced consumption and leisure practices. Although some residents benefited from access to new entertainment and business areas, the negative effects on livelihoods, residential security, and the coastal environment were more strongly felt by the Panambungan community.

Abstract

Cultural values guide how communities interpret basic life problems. Among Sasak transmigrants in Benteng Village, poverty has shaped practices that are often misunderstood by neighbouring groups. This study examines Sasak cultural value orientations and their relationship to stereotypes.Ethnographic research in Benteng Village used observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation. Data were interpreted using Kluckhohn and Strodtbeck’s value-orientation framework and the concept of stereotypes. Sasak residents view hardship as a condition that can be improved through persistent work. Work focuses on basic needs and future security; agricultural dependence encourages adaptation to nature; and strong kinship promotes reliance on fellow Sasak. Outsiders often label these practices as laziness, aggressiveness, and a lack of education. Such judgements reflect limited interaction and overlook how poverty and local meanings shape decisions. These practices are therefore better understood as culturally meaningful responses to structural constraints than as fixed ethnic traits.

Abstract

The term childfree refers to individuals or couples who voluntarily choose not to have children. Within Catholic teaching, this choice is controversial because marriage is understood as a sacramental union that should remain open to procreation. This study examines childfree in Catholic teaching from the perspectives of Catholic couples who adopt this choice, Catholic clergy, and church members. This qualitative study was conducted in Makassar between May and July 2024. Thirteen informants participated: three childfree couples, one priest, two seminarians, and four Catholic laypeople. Data were collected through in-depth interviews and observation and analysed thematically. Childfree among Catholic couples generated opposing responses. Couples chose not to have children because of recurrent miscarriage trauma, anxiety about child-rearing, a desire to preserve time and intimacy as a couple, and reluctance to assume the practical burdens of parenting. Although the couples understood childfree as a personal decision, Catholic clergy considered it inconsistent with the Church’s teachings on marriage and procreation and distinguished it from the natural regulation of births. Lay Catholics also held differing views: some regarded childfree as a rejection of God’s will and the purposes of marriage, while others avoided moral judgement and emphasised respect for personal decisions. The findings show that childfree is negotiated at the intersection of individual autonomy, marital experience, and Catholic religious obligations.

Abstract

Studies of religion and electoral preferences in Indonesia largely focus on Muslim-majority urban settings. This study examines how Christian youth in Tana Toraja, a Christian-majority area known for interreligious tolerance, interpret religious issues in presidential elections and determine their political choices. Using a qualitative ethnographic approach, the research involved 17 purposively selected informants aged 17–40. Data were collected through in-depth interviews conducted face-to-face and via WhatsApp video calls, supported by electoral data from the Tana Toraja General Elections Commission (KPU). The findings show that informants prioritize candidates’ character and track record, vision and mission, work experience, and economic policies rather than religious identity. They oppose the use of religion as an instrument for obtaining political support. Their responses are shaped by Christian teachings, especially the principle of love, and are generally reflective, peaceful, and non-confrontational. Voting decisions are largely independent of family and social pressure. Political parties exert limited influence, while social media is the principal source of political information. The study concludes that rational evaluation, religious ethics, and digital information shape the political preferences of Christian youth in Toraja more strongly than identity-based religious mobilization.

Abstract

Religious conversion to Islam entails not only a spiritual transformation but also a process of cultural adaptation. This study examines how Toraja converts who embraced Islam through marriage adjust to new religious practices, negotiate relationships with spouses and extended families, and maintain their social and cultural ties. The research employed a qualitative case-study approach in Lembang Tokesan, South Sangalla District, Tana Toraja. Four purposively selected informants participated in the study, comprising three converts through marriage and one member of an informant’s family. Data were collected through observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation, and were analysed through data reduction, thematic organization, and triangulation. The findings show that adaptation occurs through changes in worship practices, dietary habits, and participation in the social environment. Spouses and family members play a central role in teaching religious practices and supporting converts during the adjustment process. Converts continue to participate in Toraja ceremonies, particularly funeral rituals, while selectively avoiding practices and foods that conflict with Islamic teachings. The study demonstrates that conversion through marriage does not eliminate Toraja cultural identity; instead, converts negotiate a form of everyday coexistence between their new religious commitments and established cultural relationships.
